Paul declareth at large, how he was converted to the faith,1 ¶ Men,º brethren,º andº fathers,º hear² ye¹ª myº defenceº [which I make] nowº untoº you.º 2 (Andº when they heardºª thatº he spakeºª in the² Hebrewº tongueº to them,º they keptºª the moreº silence:º andº he saith,)ºª 3 Iº amºª verilyº a manº [which am] a Jew,º bornºª inº Tarsus,º [a city] in Cilicia,º yetº brought upºª inº thisº cityº atº the² feetº of Gamaliel,º [and] taughtºª accordingº to the perfect mannerº of the lawº of the² fathers,º and wasºª zealousº toward God,º asº yeº allº areºª this day.º 4 And Iº persecutedºª thisº wayº untoº the death,º bindingºª andº deliveringºª intoº prisonsº bothº menº andº women.º 5 Asº alsoº the² high priestº doth bear¹ª me¹ witness,ºª² andº allº the² estate of the elders:º fromº whomº alsoº I receivedºª lettersº untoº the² brethren,º and¹ wentºª toº Damascus,º to bringºª² them which wereºª thereº boundºª untoº Jerusalem,º for toº be punished.ºª 6 Andº it came to pass,ºª that, as I² made¹ª my¹ journey,ºª andº was come nighºª unto Damascusº aboutº noon,º suddenlyº there shoneºª fromº heavenº a greatº lightº round¹ª aboutº me.º 7 Andº I fellºª untoº the² ground,º andº heardºª a voiceº sayingºª unto me,º Saul,º Saul,º whyº persecutest² thou¹ª me?º 8 Andº Iº answered,ºª Whoº art² thou,¹ª Lord?º Andº he saidºª untoº me,º Iº amºª Jesusº of Nazareth,º whomº thouº persecutest.ºª 9 Andº they that wereºª withº meº sawºª indeedº the² light,º andº wereºª afraid;º butº they heardºª notº the² voiceº of him that spakeºª to me.º 10 Andº I said,ºª Whatº shall I do,ºª Lord?º Andº the² Lordº saidºª untoº me,º Arise,ºª and goºª intoº Damascus;º and thereº it shall be toldºª theeº ofº all thingsº whichº are appointedºª for theeº to do.ºª 11 Andº whenº I could¹ª notº seeºª forº the² gloryº of thatº light,º being led by the handºª ofº them that were¹ª with² me,º I cameºª intoº Damascus.º 12 Andº oneº Ananias,º a devoutº manº accordingº to the² law,º having a good reportºª ofº allº the² Jewsº which dweltºª [there], 13 Cameºª untoº me,º andº stood,ºª and saidºª unto me,º Brotherº Saul,º receive thy sight.ºª And¹ª the² sameº hourº Iº looked upºª uponº him.º 14 Andº he² said,ºª The² Godº of ourº fathersº hath chosenºª thee,º that thou shouldest knowºª his¹² will,º andº seeºª that Just One,º andº shouldest hearºª the voiceº ofº his¹² mouth.º 15 Forº thou shalt beºª hisº witnessº untoº allº menº of whatº thou hast seenºª andº heard.ºª 16 Andº nowº whyº tarriest² thou?¹ª arise,ºª and be baptized,ºª andº wash awayºª thyº sins,º calling onºª the² nameº of the² Lord.º [1] Lk 12:11; 21:14; Ac 7:2; 13:26; 19:33; 23:1, 6; 24:10; 25:8, 16; 26:1, 24; 28:17; Ro 2:15; 1Co 9:3; 2Co 7:11; 12:19; Php 1:7, 17; 2Ti 4:16; 1P 3:15.
